Every time I make scrambled tofu and post pics on facebook and instagram I get messages asking how to make it. So today I figured it was time to share my recipe for scrambled tofu. This recipe is adapted from a Scrambled Tofu in the Follow Your Heart cookbook but I rarely stick to a recipe (ask Bob he'll tell you!). I go with what feels right, rather than weighing and measuring, and I tend to switch out ingredients depending on what I have on hand. Plus sometimes, recipes just seem way too …

Meatless Monday: 15 Mock Meat & Dairy Alternatives
One of my good friends texted me last week to ask for help. She's opting for more meatless meals in 2017 and wanted advice. More specifically, recommendations on products and brands that she should look for when grocery shopping. After a few texts back and forth I suddenly realized that this is something I should do a blog post about. Vegetarianism and veganism are growing in popularity, and plant based diets are becoming more mainstream. It's never been easier to switch to meatfree with all the …
Using one word to guide you through 2017
Since 2007 I've been picking One Little Word to set an intention through the year ahead. This concept was introduced to me back in my scrapbooking designer days by Ali Edwards. It's something I felt drawn to and something I've done every year since. Sometimes the words I've chosen have been amazing. Others, not so much. I get it, New Year's resolutions may not be something you do. However you may just find one little word something you embrace with open arms, and are more successful …
Hawaii vacation: our destination relaxation
Last year when we vacationed in Hawaii, I fell in love. Not just with the Island, but the condo, beach, snorkeling, people, nature, ocean, the chilled lifestyle, pretty much everything. Hawaii was the epitome of a life changing vacation. Earlier this year, we visited friends and family in England (so NOT a vacation!) but I was yearning to go back to Hawaii. The islands were calling me. I was able to answer that call as we snagged a cancellation at the condo we stayed at previously. In November, …
About Me
Everyone has a story. To be perfectly honest I've always struggled with opening up and telling my story. Maybe because I'm an only child? Who knows. Honestly, I think it's because I truly just don't know where to start. Do I start with how and why I started my career in fitness? Or the fact that I have a hereditary kidney disease? Maybe I should talk about why we won't be having children? Or maybe how I met my husband, and what made our wedding so special? Where do you start with the story of …
Meatless Monday Review: Gardein Fishless Filet
Comfort foods. We all have them, we all love them. In America it's Mac'n'cheese or burger and fries and when you think of England you think Fish'n'chips right? You can take the girl out of England but you can't take England out of the girl! Growing up chip shop tea is a what of life, and when I was vegetarian living in England I remember having Linda McCartney vegetarian fish fingers that were amazing, and last year I was so happy to find Gardein Fishless Filets. Childhood comfort foods …
5 minute core workout
Happy Workout Wednesday! I have my Lorna Jane "Happy" tank on so let's do a 5 minute core workout you can do ANYWHERE! That's been the theme of the workouts this month in case you hadn't noticed. No equipment needed! Honestly I don't spend a lot of time working my abs, I really don't think you need to. Frankly 5-10 minutes is the max I generally spend, and that's usually about twice a week. The full workout video is below, but don't forget to check out my YouTube channel for more workout …
Recipe: Chocolate Covered Brazil Nuts
Another Meatless Monday (insert fanfare) and another full day of eating, plus a recipe for chocolate covered brazil nuts. I've made a full vlog which is embedded and linked below but just to show you the most delicious food I ate Saturday it was this meal at Lotus Vegan: Chickn & Pancakes!!! Let me tell you it was freakin' awesome! Looks good right? Yep, vegan diets are so restrictive, lol! Bob had a chickn wrap and his was equally delicious. Their curry is good too (my favorite is the …
Recipe – Chipotle Style Burrito Bowl
BOOM! Hear that? That's the sound of shit getting done. Namely it's the sound of me uploading to YouTube, posting on social media and the blog, and generally getting my shit together. Nope hell didn't freeze over, I just decided to make motivating, inspiring and sharing a priority. So with that here is a "what I ate in a day" post (including a recipe for a burrito bowl a'la Chipotle) as a plant based or vegan athlete. Why share that? Because: I realized that people have no clue how to eat …
